Dressed for the moments that matter

Every piece at AfriHeaven comes from designers back home in West Africa — made for your wedding, your naming ceremony, and every celebration worth dressing up for.

We hand-pick each outfit for its fabric, its embroidery, and its craftsmanship. Because these are one-of-a-kind pieces, we carry just one of each. When it speaks to you, it's yours alone.

— MJ, founder

Finding your size

Every listing has that piece's own measurements. Compare those to your measurements, not just the size label, since sizing varies by designer.

AfriHeaven size chart, XS to 2XL, with bust, waist and hip ranges in inches

To measure yourself, use a soft tape measure:

Bust: around the fullest part of your chest.
Waist: around your natural waist, the narrowest part.
Hips: around the fullest part of your hips.
Length: from the top of your shoulder down to where you want the hem.
Sleeve: from the shoulder seam to your wrist.

Fuller bust? If your bust measurement is larger than your waist and hips, that's common. Go with your bust size for fitted pieces, or message us and we'll help you choose.

Returns

All sales are final. Please review the sizing chart and item measurements carefully before purchasing — we're unable to accept returns or exchanges for sizing or fit.

If an item arrives significantly different from its description (wrong item, damage, major discrepancy), message us within 48 hours with photos and we'll make it right.
